    Fashion For Relief

    If there was ever a runway show that could be considered a "party," it was Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief show.

Items were auctioned off from  Dennis Hopper, Richard Prince, Jeff Koons and Tracey Emin, and David La Chapelle.

    Red Granite Party

    Can anything as big as Cannes come and go without a performance by Kanye West? The answer is no. He took the stage with Jamie Foxx and Pharrell to play to a crowd that included Jon Hamm and Leonardo Dicaprio.
